Annual Giving

We are Deeply Grateful for Your Support

Annual gifts are an opportunity for all alumni and their friends to have a powerful and immediate impact on the student experience, fostering intellectual curiosity and groundbreaking research. Annual gifts are a key component to maintaining the remarkable quality of education that is a hallmark of Stanford Engineering.

They are your personal investment in the school and help to hire the best faculty, promote programs that shape well-rounded future leaders and furnish cutting-edge facilities where the world’s top faculty and students do pioneering research.

The Long-term Impact of your Annual Gift

Annual gifts have laid the foundation for education excellence, keeping Stanford Engineering at the forefront.

The long-term impact of this support cannot be overstated. Each year your annual gifts go directly to create new labs where outstanding young faculty will formulate tomorrow’s breakthroughs. This sponsorship allows these promising researchers to hit the ground running on arrival on campus. Often, your gifts are a deciding factor in their choosing Stanford over peer institutions or the inducements of industry.

As the list of faculty supported by your annual gifts grows by the year, the results are apparent in Stanford Engineering’s efforts to solve some of the most profound technical challenges of our day—environmental sustainability, clean energy and human health.
